Is it still healthy when you cook the vegetables in bacon fat, cover them in cheese, deep fry them, then cover them in cheese and bacon again?

Now that I've read the article... Um... There is a great lack of source data which leads me to believe they've basically added up how many kilos of vegetables a country produces/imports and divided by estimate populous. In other words, with no evidence to the contrary, they're including vegetables used in manufacturing/production of non food goods. Think of all the corn "consumed" by making biodiesel.

Sure they take the time to include a broken link where they define vegetable, but they need to also define consume. (See the biodiesel example)
